Garrison Campsite - St. Mary's

Camping - Dog friendly

Garrison Holidays – the perfect base to explore the Isles of Scilly. A 9.5 acre site with lots of room to pitch a tent, a stunning campsite located on the historic Garrison on St Mary’s. Camping with us is by far one of the best ways to escape the demands of today's "fast, modern" world & experience the beauty of Scilly.

Additional Information

Garrison Campsite is a family run and orientated site - small enough to be intimate and personal, yet large enough to retreat into a quiet corner and remain anonymous if desired - the choice is yours.

The site layout ensures a degree of intimacy and privacy, whilst the abundance of birds and wildlife guarantees to entertain and delight. There is no better place to engage with the local wildlife than here. The hedgehogs are particularly well known, having been featured by Ray Mears on one of his BBC programmes and the thrushes are so tame that they come very close to you before taking flight. We have superb views out over the sea and we are just a short walk from town. \

We provide all the essentials with a well stocked shop (bread, milk, cereals, chilled/frozen foods, beer/wine, confectionary, biscuits & snacks ) and most types of camping gas & accessories are available. We also provide a freezing service (at a small charge) for ice packs. Other facilities available include WiFi, mobile phone/laptop charging, toilet blocks, showers, hair dryers, shaving points, washing up & laundry facilities and we have 10 electric hook ups on site. There is a children’s play area and tennis court nearby.

We have easy camping in our Readi-Tents, where we provide the tent and equipment and you just bring yourselves, a sleeping bag and a toothbrush.

We collect luggage from the quay if coming by Scillonian. Dogs are permitted on the campsite but we have a strict limit of one dog per party. We also have a limit on the number of dogs on the site at any one time, so it is essential to arrange this with us prior to arrival.
